Article: Nike SB Orange Label "University Blue" Pack

Releases

Nike SB Orange Label "University Blue" Pack

Nike SB’s Orange Label is back, and this time, it’s serving up a triple threat in University Blue. Set to land at NOTE very soon, this skate shop exclusive brings together three heavy hitters: the Dunk Low Pro ISO, the Vertebrae, and the Janoski OG+. You know the deal by now – Premium Materials, useful skate-tech and the usual skater-first ethos of the Orange label.

The Orange Label

Exclusive to skate shops and only available in Manchester at NOTE, Nike SB’s Orange Label range is a tribute to the independent stores that keep skateboarding alive. More than just a collection, it’s a celebration of the shops, scenes, and skaters that shape the culture, inspiring new generations to grab a board and hit the streets.

Built with premium materials and subtle design details, Orange Label products don’t just hold up to heavy sessions—they look proper clean while doing it.

Over the years, Nike SB Orange Label has teamed up with some of skateboarding’s best, including Oskar “Oski” Rozenberg, Kevin Bradley, Ishod Wair, and Leo Baker. These collaborations give SB team riders the chance to infuse their personality into high-performance skate shoes and apparel, making each release as unique as the skaters themselves.

University Blue Dunk 

First up in this collegiate blue delivery, the Nike SB Dunk ticks all of the proverbial skate shoe boxes. Dope gum sole. Signature chunky tongue. Sumptuous and lux fabrics.
Smooth suede and nubuck in shades of blue keep things clean, while the crisp white Swoosh and midsole add the contrast classic to this silhouette. But the real detail that sets this apart from the usual dunk? The Orange Label branding, subtly stamped on the tongue and insole.

Dunksman in the audience will see the striking similarity of these with the legendary Gulf Racing/Club 58 Dunks from 2021, but with some fresh updates. If you missed those, here’s your second chance at some blue-and-gum beauts.

Nike SB Vertebrae “University Blue”

If you know, you know. The SB Vertebrae might not be the loudest name in Nike SB’s lineup, but those who skate them swear by them. Lightweight, durable, and built for proper wear-and-tear, these feature raised midfoot panels, ghillie-loop lacing, and a Generative outsole designed for boardfeel without blowing out after a few sessions. This University Blue edition keeps it in line with the Dunk, featuring buttery nubuck, breathable textile panels, and that essential gum sole.

A true under-the-radar gem that deserves more love.


Nike SB Janoski OG+ in University Blue

What’s a Nike SB pack without a Janoski? The silhouette that changed the game for vulc skate shoes back in the day is here again, and this OG+ update is as clean as it gets. Dressed in smooth and tumbled leather, embroidered Swooshes, and featuring the usual Zoom Air cushioning, this version of the classic shape is a real treat
Whether you’re looking for a new go-to vulc, or just rate the OG Janoski shape, this one’s a no-brainer.

University Blue Pack release info

Since its launch in the late 2010s, Nike SB’s Orange Label has been about quality, simplicity, and keeping the best SB releases in actual skate shops. That means you won’t find these anywhere but skater-run shops like NOTE.

All three pairs from the University Blue pack drop very soon on our Nike SB page. So keep an eye on our Instagram and sign up to our newsletter for exact details when they arrive.
